2022-09-12, Monday - Energy 5% / Sleep 85% / Feeling 60-70%-ish
Severe backlash from the short gig yesterday, altho it felt OK, and was well worth it.
CoV-danger increased, wife sat next to someone for 5’.
Bed “before” 10. Stop forums there.
Test pak choy for burning once tooth is thru.
Today’s symptoms sorted by the ACR 2016 criteria
Widespread pain, WPI = 12! of 19 areas: limb-Ache 8 (30%, stiff 35%) + spine-pain 3 (15%), shoulder-girdles/hips 0 chest / abdomen / jaw 1!
Symptom severity, SSS = severity 10! of 12: Fatigue 3 (95%), insomnia 3 (15%), fog 2 (25-30%), headache 1!, GI 1 (20%), depression 0
I usually haven’t been counting the jaw inflammation as jaw pain, but today the right jaw I am counting.

0:20 7’ 70%/2/10% p0 st1 sip fw2’ feverish
1:40 5’ 70%/2/10% p0 st1 sip fw1’ air feverish.
3:33 4’+30’ 70%/2/15% p0 st1 sip fw1’ muss doch weniger sein?
4:38 5’ 70%/2/15% p0 st1 sip fw1’ FCS#2 frontal sinuses feel a bit like a cold coming up. Added 0.4 GABA and a speck, cos up too often. Saw later that I’d forgotten a passiflora and praps the 2nd GABA capsule. So no change tonight. HWB cos of cold. Very necessary, didn’t overheat
6:45 5’ 70%/2/10% p0 st1 sip fw1’ air (Stomache burn / nauseous cos of the later GABA.) ear plugs only now cos of noise outside.
8:09 31’ 70%/2/20% p0 st1 sip fw1’ air nostrils B2-4 ->dozing…

Sum: 1h05+9h57-(7+5+34+5+5+31=)1h27 = 11h02-1h27 = 9h35, up 6x (1h27)
ACTIVITIES (aim: 40% energy) ➔ ACHE: 60%/3 
, bit better in between 70%/2-3. Just resting, some online work was too stressful, so partially only in stints/task-switching.
ACTIONS ➔ PAINS: 
except: neck , GI: stomach burn at 6:45 from late GABA alleviated with almond milk , but also some nausea a lot of the time, even when not moving, plus belly ache in the afternoon , esophagus , jaw 2x5’‘: funnily the right jaw! , pee pain: 2xp1-2 much better, even though starting 1 quercetin again at 11:40 - watch it
MCAS/HIT-Symptoms/Triggers/Treatments: Fatigue better from acupuncture/sleep/cold showering as well probably as losing the CoV-antibodies. 
More nuts, still lots of yogurt, almond and oat.
Fibro & Touch:
Covid-danger: Wife sat next to a kid on Saturday who now has it. But only for 10’, aired…
Weather: Indoors Outdoors .
Focal seizures: Yesterday 17:30 almost, today small 14:20 while hyperventilating very strongly in the Wim Hof breathing exercise. Interesting for self-tests, but maybe I should hyperventilate less deeply. Keep an eye on GABA.
Treatments
Docs:
Tooth on Tues 6th. Stopped aching Friday to Saturday night. Severe 95% fatigue ongoing.
Cardio phoned back on 8th, I forgot to say, none of the remaining bloods (e.g. copper, B12) was any problem at all.
Immunologist via studies?
Chinese Acupuncturist - #28 on 9th, after 28 days Still good. Session #29 on 23rd.
SELF-PHYSIO (click for details): 97'.
airing 3x2’, cold shower 2x(10’), cream/oil fc/ey/hd/ft 1x1’, teeth 3x2’, HWB 1x3’, breath exercises 3x1’, Timing, hunchback-pillow 10’, Y. Nidra 30’, massage gun 0x3’, neck 1+ 0x1’, neck 2 0x1’, plantar/calf stretch 0x1’, acupressure 0x1’, palpate 1’, belly 3’, back 10’, !!aloe vera 1x1’, twist-stretch 3x1’, yoga/stretching 0x1’.

Supps Sep 5th (32 supps): Supp costs:~364€/m (Sep 8th) CHANGED: Added a little NAC & 2 Quercetin on Sep 11th. Added B2 again from 10th on. Copper doesn't seem necessary if my cardio interpreted my bloods right. From 8th on I'm adding the olive leaf extract low (100mg) and slow (but +100mg daily, not weekly), also fisetin I think it was then. Boosting some things from 7th on for tooth. Trying 1x150mg alpha GPC for fatigue from Sep 5th (recommendation on a forum), can add a few when I'm safe. Pure ATP 400mg in liquid was bad, so at most I may encapsulate & start with less, 100mg. Can't explain pee pain on Sep 4th/5th unless additional stress from a gig. Taking 1x B3 flush free since 25th, 2x from 31st (then checking homocystein). New idea: Creatine.

Development
‘Research’ today:
Someone saying bananas don’t have much pesticides made me find out what exactly the “Dirty Dozen” is (apart from a 1967 war novel & film), which I’d seen in some good food buying videos by FlavCity with Bobby Parrish.
Trying to confirm it with tests I actually found that bananas can get pesticides: via the soil and thru the peel, see this study, altho it itself isn’t eaten, as not edible. The pesticides used there are also usually more toxic, bad for worker health. Fairtrade seems better. And do we remember to wash our hands thoroughly after touching the peel?!
Then in European tests, conventional potatoes like bananas usually don’t contain “too many” pesticides, there are many more others that do.
Whilst in the US, potatoes are #13 in the 2022 EWG Dirty “Dozen” list, after things like #1 strawberries, #5 apples and #12 celery, based on USDA test data. Whilst bananas are on the full list at #30, but still in the “yellow” category, so a bit “dirtier” than those on the 2022 EWG Clean Fifteen list (“blue” category), which has onions at #4 and sweet potatoes at #15. Which is #43 and #32 on the full list of 46, where #46 (avocadoes) is cleanest. Also products vary, e.g. certain “packaged potatoes” (it seems mainly “BPA free”) vary from 2 to 3 of 10 (= worst). Wegman’s organic sorts are all 2.4. Whilst I can’t find bananas as a fruit in the product details, so I assume they somehow don’t detail on sorts of unpackaged fruits and veggies?
